Yamaha Electone D-80 Quick Tour

[lefterhsk1]

a question please...it has pitch controle?

[Audioquest56]

@lefterhsk1 The third keyboard has pitch adjustment, but not the entire instrument.

[richardus1985]

I gotta get me one-a-these!!!

Ironside intro FTW!!! :-P

[mastashaker916]

How is the action on the keys?

[Audioquest56]

@mastashaker916 Typical Yamaha - lighter than a Hammond waterfall keyboard.

[johnnyseafarer]

how much would one of these cost now a days?

[Audioquest56]

@johnnyseafarer Next to nothing. People don't want organs anymore (unless they're classic Hammond B3's, etc.). Most people have to pay junk removers to come to their homes to get these old organs out.

at 7:24 that's CHIPS!

I like when you say ' It's just a beat'

You sound like Alex Lifeson of Rush. Are you in Toronto?

I have a Yamaha B4cr Electone that is a very usable organ! For an apartment size organ it has plenty of features including Reverb, real rotating leslie, beats w/ a balance control, good flutes. Sounds great.

Would get free D80-u-th, but got Wurltz 625T $100! inA1!

theres a society for electone owners? I have an old b6b where do I sign up?

[ElectonePlayer]

I never thought that D-80 already used the solid state tremolo - because as far as I know even the D-85 still has a (built-in) rotary speaker (not sure anymore though - it's been years back).

For its age the D-80 has still remarkably very clear sound - or is it thanks to your excellent video mic ?

In any case thanks for this tour video on the YAMAHA D-80! Great work!

[Audioquest56]

@ElectonePlayer D-80 has a built-in rotary speaker. The TM-5 tone cabinet has the electronic simulated tremolo.

Nice video!!!Thanks for sharing...

[FlametopFred]

Excellent video

[fredfred1996]

It;s really a good vintage organ

[ultrablaze]

how does it sound without the tm5 tone cabinet

[Audioquest56]

It also sounds good without the TM5.  The organ has a built-in, belt-driven, Leslie-style speaker. The TM-5 adds a lot of wattage.

Cool vid Rob ! I still have possesion of a D65 which I have owned since I was 16, thats 25 years ago lol. It's at my dad's place and it hasn't been played for years. Looking at that beauty makes me want to go round and have a bash on it !! Thanks for sharing !

[FlametopFred]

Excellent! Good video.

[rotitelor]

Nice job! Makes me want one. Looking forward to your performance on the D-80.
